After losing her best friend, Versha Verma hired vehicles and turned them into hearses to carry the dead, often shunned by their own family
In mid-April, 42-year-old Versha Verma lost her best friend who was battling with Covid-19 at Lucknow’s Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital. Her body kept lying in the morgue for some hours because there was no transportation available to carry it to the crematorium. Those who agreed were asking for prohibitive sums of money, which the family couldn’t afford.
